Like I said earlier, it was in the numbers for the Vikings to win tonight. The Packers had a strange season, losing all three home games to divisional opponents, and winning all three on the road. Another sign for the Vikings, was that it was the second week in a row they were featured on Sunday Night Football, something that doesn't happen very often for any team.
Minnesota Vikings = 111
111th meeting between Vikings and Packers
November 1, 2009, or 11/1, last time Vikings won in Green Bay
2009 was the last time the Vikings won the NFC North as well. No coincidence.
Also, with regards to 111 and the Vikings, remember that the Vikings lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV, January 11, 1970. Emphasis on 1/11, or 111. Further, the Chiefs were also involved in Super Bowl 1, against the Packers, the opponent defeated tonight by the Vikings.
The city of Kansas City is coming off of winning the 111th World Series. The Chiefs are lead by Alex Smith who has name gematria of 111, and in his rookie season, after being taken #1 overall, he finished the year with 1 TD and 11 INTS. Alex Smith, #11, is in his 11th season, heading into the playoffs with 11 wins.
Last point, Rodgers had 44 attempts on the game. A losing tribute to Wisconsin perhaps. Aaron Rodger was selected after Alex Smith in the 2005 NFL Draft.
Wisconsin = 5+9+1+3+6+5+1+9+5 = 44
44 Passing Attempts
What a shocker. Ends with a total of 33 combined points.
ReplyDelete99 yards for Bridgewater.
ReplyDelete33 yards for Minn leading receiver.
3 to 3 almost the whole first half.

Seahawks vs Vikings. Hawks 7 Point Favorite. Should be interesting
ReplyDeleteIt's still possible for a repeat of the first super bowl?
ReplyDeleteIt is. Would have to be two wildcard team runs. I keep thinking its the 1 seeds this year, which it hasn't been in a minute. But KC v GB is still possible.
DeleteSeahawks and Patriots were both 1 seeds last season.
